converting bodies to parts

Hello all,

new to the forum, trying to alleviate the pains of a repetitive task

I want to convert imported bodies into parts. right now the only way to do it is to:

In the part navigator -
+ select the part
+ Assemblies > Components > Create New Component...
+ In the "Model" tab, under "Name and Attributes" double click on one of the red asterisks
+ Assign a unique name
+ Hit OK
+ Hit OK again in the window "Create New Component" that pops up

for a couple parts it's not too bad, but when an assembly has 1000+ parts it takes forever and can be error prone

any thoughts?

thanks!
